Hello Jack,
I very much appreciate D-rats's file transfer mechanism and it's
both intuitive and reliable.? With that said, the file transfer
mechanism in D-rats needs an option to select from multiple
"performance modes" per configured "radio" .? The current solution
might well for Dstar's original slow DV-Data bandwidth but it
seriously impedes the performance with higher performance systems
like NPR-70, D-star 1.2Ghz DD-Data, and Internet-based Drats
clients.? I posted some discussions about this on this email list a
few weeks ago:

/g/d-rats/topic/transfer_settings/74828534?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,74828534
There, the fastest transfer I could get was about 27Kbps and most of
this was due to self-imposed delays and not the actual transfer of
bits.? I know there might not be any perfect solution here as some
stations behind a Ratflector might actually be slow but ideally,
this would be negotiated and not be a lowest common denominator
approach.

Hi David,

Agreed.

Another
serious ¡°need¡± is to establish more transparent and robust
file upload security. Right now, file upload is either on or
off. The single password system that exists in the current
version is too easily compromised. One approach would be to
have a ¡°public¡± files upload area that will be automatically
quarantined and scanned by AV/AM software immediately upon
completion of the upload.

Hello
Everyone,
One really great feature in modern communications clients
like Slack, Teams, etc. is when you connect to a chat, you
can see all of the *previous* chat messages.? Having
something like this would be hugely helpful when stations
temporarily loose connection and then re-establish yet they
missed various chats.? I imagine this "previous" state would
be best offered via an enhanced D-rats Ratflector and would
need to be configurable so it cannot consume too much
resources on the Ratflector.
Thoughts?
